Crowdfunding

Signed into law by President Barack Obama on April 5, 2012, the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act was a bipartisan effort to help American small businesses and emerging companies grow through a combination of easing existing securities regulations to better reflect today's market and facilitating capital formation. Some key provisions in the JOBS Act include creating an "IPO on-ramp" for eligible small companies looking to go public, raising previous shareholder and private fundraising limits, lifting the ban on general solicitation and advertising certain securities, and the implementation of crowdfunding. Though certain aspects of the new laws have taken effect immediately, other key rules of the JOBS Act are still being promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
